Use in landscape design

The ground cover rose Jazz is actively used in landscape design. It is grown in flowerpots outside and planted in flower beds. It can serve as a decoration for parks or garden plots.

Features of agricultural technology

“Jazz” is easy to care for, like all ground cover roses, since it does not require constant pruning and mandatory feeding.

Expert opinion: “Ground cover roses do not require pruning - this is a common feature of all varieties of this group. You just need to do spring sanitary cleaning, removing diseased, frozen and damaged stems. You can shape the bush to your liking: into a cube, a cone, a ball, or a spreading scrub. Of course, a ground cover rose will tolerate any pruning, but since radical pruning provokes the powerful formation of new young growth, it will need a lot of nutrients to recover. The rose will bloom with minimal care. However, after balanced feeding, the bush usually grows to enormous size. (see → How to feed roses) This is how the plant thanks for the “food”. The rest of the care, disease prevention, watering, pest control are standard, as for other varietal groups.”

Growing a flower: how to plant it correctly in open ground

The plant has excellent decorative properties. To achieve success in its cultivation, you need to carry out planting work correctly.

Rose Chippendale - characteristics of the varietal shrub

The plant is recommended to be propagated by seedlings. In order for the rose to grow normally and delight you with its decorative effect, it is best to buy planting material from trusted nurseries.

Important! The seed method is used only by breeders, since it does not allow preserving varietal characteristics.

Experienced gardeners recommend planting the plant in late spring. This must be done after the soil has completely warmed up.

Selecting a location

A sunny area that is protected from the wind by other plants is suitable for planting. Roses need light and fertile soil.

How to prepare the soil and flower for planting

Before planting, the plant must be soaked in a growth stimulator. On the site you need to make a square hole measuring 60 by 60 cm. You also need to mix a mixture based on sand, clay, peat, humus, garden soil and make a hole in it. You can add superphosphate and ash.

Step by step landing procedure

To plant a plant you should do the following:

1. Place the seedling in the hole and straighten its roots.
2. Gradually sprinkle the rose with soil and compact the soil.
3. Hill up the rose and fill the trunk circle with water.
4. Sprinkle it with sawdust and dry bark.

Important! The plant should be watered moderately for several days. Otherwise, there is a risk of active development of above-ground shoots against the background of undeveloped roots.

When planting, you need to observe a number of features

Common mistakes rose growers make

1. As you know, under the scorching rays of the sun, roses quickly fade, the color of the buds fades, and the petals “burn.” For this reason, some gardeners plant rose gardens near the walls of buildings or under the spreading crowns of trees. This proximity protects roses from heat and wind . The main mistake of inexperienced gardeners is not maintaining an acceptable distance between rose bushes and large plants. Trees with a developed root system take away moisture and nutrients from roses. The stems weaken, become thinner, blind shoots form, and the risk of fungal diseases increases. The roots of roses planted closer than 0.5 m to concrete wall foundations freeze in winter.
2. The indicator of soil moisture and the depth of groundwater are essential characteristics when choosing a location for setting up a rose garden. Excess moisture in the soil increases acidity, impedes the access of oxygen, and overcools the roots of the plant during wintering. In areas where there is stagnation of moisture, even for a short time, gravel or crushed stone laid at the bottom of the planting hole is indispensable. The drainage pad softens, but does not completely solve the problem of excessive soil moisture. To drain water from the roots of roses planted in a waterlogged area, it is necessary to lay drainage pipes.

Tip #1 : Roses will not suffer from stagnant melt water if you create a kind of podium for planting them, that is, raise the rose garden 50-60 cm above the general ground level.

Plant care

In order for the plant to develop well and look as attractive as possible, you need to adhere to certain rules when growing it.

Watering rules and humidity

Rose Pilgrim (The Pilgrim) - characteristics of the varietal shrub

Once a week, the bushes should be watered at the root. It is recommended to perform the procedure early in the morning and use warm water. During drought, the amount of watering is reduced.

Fertilizing and soil quality

The variety is characterized by rapid growth, and therefore it needs to be systematically fed. In this case, you should adhere to the following scheme:

• in early spring, apply nitrogen agents;
• then use formulations based on potassium and sodium;
• Finally, phosphorus fertilization is carried out.

Pruning and replanting

It is not recommended to prune roses frequently. In the first year, it is enough to lightly trim the ends of the shoots. Then you should remove dry branches and thin out slightly to maintain shape. It is important to maintain a distance of 1 cm from the kidney.

Note! To avoid infection, the cuts must be treated with garden varnish.

Features of wintering a flower

The variety is highly resistant to frost. It can be easily grown in the Moscow region without shelter. Even if the shoots freeze slightly, the plant quickly recovers.

Origin

Rose grandiflora (grandiflora)
The first of these is Just Joey (1972). Its author, Roger Posey, is the son of one of the owners of the company. Having crossed two CG roses - the famous Fragrant Cloud (Duftvolke) and the yellow fragrant 'Dr. AJ Verhage' (originator Gysbert Verbeek, 1963), he received a beautiful flower, devoid of any flaws.

The breeder decided to name the rose in honor of his wife, Joey Posey. However, considering that her name did not sound too melodious for such beauty, he asked her for advice. Not at all offended, the wife said: “Just call her Joey.” That’s how the rose came to be called “Just Joey – Just Joey.”

Description

The plant forms a well-branched lush bush with a height of 75 to 120 cm and a width of up to 120 cm. The leaves are leathery, glossy, dark green in color, and medium in size.

The rose is remontant and blooms profusely and for a long time. Elegant conical buds (8-10 cm), salmon-orange in color, gradually open into a huge double cup-shaped flower up to 15 cm in diameter. The ruffled petals are amber yellow with a copper tint, with a slight blush on the reverse side.

Unusually beautiful in any phase of dissolution, single flowers, only occasionally collected in a brush, have a strong, rich fruity aroma, reminiscent of the smell of melon and orange. Just Joey has enviable health, is resistant to powdery mildew and black spot and comes out of winter well. The flowers are very resistant to wet weather, and the buds bloom even after prolonged rains.

Agrotechnical features

Just Joey is designed for gardening in 7b to 10b USDA zones. But, according to the observations of flower growers, it develops better in cool climates: the flowers have a brighter color, and their aroma intensifies. In hot weather, they quickly fade, so you need to select a planting site taking this feature into account.

Otherwise, caring for the magnificent “Just Joey” is no different from the standard for roses of this group.

World recognition

Ideal beauty, unusual flower color, and endurance have made this rose very popular in the world. She has won prestigious awards at numerous competitions and exhibitions. It started with a rose testing certificate obtained in Hamilton (New Zealand) in 1975.

The James Mason 'Just Joey' Medal of Honor was awarded in 1986 by the Royal Rose Society of Great Britain. It is awarded to varieties of roses that have enjoyed particular success among gardeners over the past 20 years.

In 1993, the rose received the prize of the Royal Horticultural Society (AGM) as a plant recommended for cultivation in England.

In 1994, Just Joey took pride of place in the World Federation of Rose Societies (WFRS) Hall of Fame list as the world's favorite rose.

In 1999-2001, she was twice awarded the title of "Show Princess" and "Queen of Show" by the American Rose Society (ARS).

In 2001, the rose received an Honorary Prize at an exhibition in the USA from the Austin Rose Society. This is how she is “Simply Joey”, the rose is perfection itself: its flowers with a divine aroma, on long shoots, are equally charming both in a flowerbed in the garden and in the interior of a room.
